Hi Nishant,

So far, the Grid rows merge functionality is not part of our immediate development plans. 

If this feature is very urgent for your project, I would also like to present you with an offering that may be relevant and applicable to your needs - our Feature Acceleration program. It allows a customer to negotiate a certain component or functionality to be implemented on demand.

Feature acceleration fits well in scenarios where a feature, bug, or enhancement is important for an application's success, but it is not planned to be available at the time of the application's completion.

Please let me know if you are interested in pursuing this option at any time and I will put you in touch with our Professional Services team to discuss your exact specifications and possible timeframes.

Regards,
Martin

Stay tuned by visiting our public roadmap and feedback portal pages! Or perhaps, if you are new to our Kendo family, check out our getting started resources

Hi Kendo Team,

 

Since this feature request is pending from quite a long time(since Jan 2020)..May I know the probable timeline to include this feature..Some of the important usability suggested by our UX team we cannot take up due to this feature not available in kendo..

In case your are not going to support this feature in near term,do let us know..SO that we can look for some alternative options

How's progress? This is something that you don't need, until you do, and then you have to switch away from Kendo

Hi Michael,

the Kendo team is tracking demand for this, but it is not on the roadmap yet. The general way to escalate is to increase the demand (e.g., upvotes).

I do have a way for you to get it done ASAP. It is called Feature Acceleration Program, where you'll meet with a team of engineers to specifically build a feature for you right now. Please be aware that this isn't a service that is a part of your regular product or support license, so it comes at an additional cost.

Even if you don't want to/have budget for the full route of building the feature, you can limit the contract to just writing up some custom tr/td parsing logic for that specific Grid you need it for.

Here's how to contact them:

  1. Go to https://www.telerik.com/services 
  2. Scroll down and under the "Outsourcing" section and choose your preferred option
    1. Select Feature Customization for Feature Acceleration
    2. Select Custom App Development for the smaller 1-off custom implementation

I hope that provides you with some options you can pursue right now.

Hello Michael,

We do not have a custom business logic demo for that situation. The fundamental concept explained in the prior examples was to show how you can use row-span to modify the post-rendering layout. That logic is not Kendo-based or a part of the Grid. It's a custom post-processing technique to modify the DOM of what the Grid created for the data.

Now, onto your need. You can probably achieve a similar result by modifying that logic to work for column span. Here's a resource on that topic => https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_td_colspan 

Note: That is very different than our Spanned Columns feature because spanned columns operate on the same columns for every row. What you need to do is modify the final rendered table by iterating over every row and column with a custom comparison logic and then modify that specific table cell based on prior loop's cell. If it meets your business logic condition, you can set the col span value.

Hi Rajkumar,

You cannot view ticket 1447763 because it is not your Technical Support case. Technical Support tickets are private conversations protected by NDA in our support system.

To answer your last question, what you described "split one row into 2 cells" doesn't completely sound like row merge. If you're indeed asking for merging 2 separate cells into one larger cell (i.e., merging rows), then you can take a look at these two examples

Please be aware that these are not official approaches, they're custom implementations to meet a specific need and are not tested to our level of quality. You'll likely need to develop them further to meet any scenario-specific needs. For an official implementation, you'll need to stay subscribed to this Feature Request for updates.

You can add an upvote to this public Feature Request to increase its priority and you can click the "Follow" button to get immediate updates whenever this item's status changes.

I would also like to add the capability to merge cells horizontally as well, but on row by row bases.
